On this episode, we welcome Alex to our presenting team!
Ashleigh talks to Jess from the Trans Safety Network about a recent far-right protest outside the Honor Oak pub in Lewisham which became violent. We also talk about Labour signalling their plans to “modernise, simplify and reform” the UK’s Gender Recognition Act, backtracking on a previous promise to uphold self-identification, and Ashleigh talks about her first Trans Pride Brighton as a wheelchair user.
